Defense Grid

Artifact

Each spell costs more to cast except during its controller's turn.

Exiled_soul forgot to mention I really like your Defense Grid on the sideboard, but I suspect Veil of Summer and Blossoming Defense will work better for this list.

Hmmmm, love this interaction but not exactly sure what would go best with it...maybe some toolbox 1-ofs to work with enlightened tutor e.g. Powder Keg Defense Grid Elephant Grass Aura of Silence, there are so many more options lol just go look at the sideboard for a random enchantress deck. Sterling Grove seems obligatory to tutor and protect your pieces. Parallax Wave + Opalescence combo could work here to protect/bounce the confinement as well. I kind of like your idea of Necra Sanctuary especially alongside the groves. Honestly though I don't think you need much in terms of wincons, if you are all in on the lock I think opponents will just scoop or deck themselves, maybe just 1 or 2 tutorable kill pieces like Necra to beat stuff like Gaea's Blessing.

Nice, Squelcher does seem like a big comeup for this deck and gobs were already strong. List looks nice, how have your matchups been? One rec I would make is to use Defense Grid as anti-consign tech if that card is problematic for you because the replicate on consign will dodge guttural a lot of the time.

Profet93, I love Sensei's Divining Top and Isochron Scepter. Only reason they aren't a fit is because I play them in another deck. There are many cards that I am okay with playing across multiple decks, but both of those can make your decks feel too similar. Great suggestions. Most of my Territory Control cards are instant speed, so I feel like Defense Grid buts me in a bind. I am also not so much a spell slinger. If you look (don't have to), most of my stuff is attrition or Stax. This is newish to me too... hens asking people to take a look see.

Just like Last_Laugh [hope you're doing well], spellslinger is outside my wheel house.

Defense Grid might be worth looking into to protect your combo, though it does make your instant speed interaction more difficult to cast. Really depends on how much you prioritize protection over your glass cannon over interaction. And at the risk of being hypocritical...

Snuff Out and Force of Despair - Manaless instant speed interaction.

Funny enough, with all your 0 drops, aetherflux would be fun to see, but it would spread the deck too far in a different direction.

Sensei's Divining Top - Cheap, useful, especially with mystic forge. If you were to add an artifact cost reducer (like Cloud Key), then it could be a fun infinite combo to draw your entire deck and burn your opponents alive with your commander on board. Though, most of your artifacts are free, so the synergy's value is lost.

Thoughts on Thought Vessel?

Isochron Scepter?

These are more fringe but just wanted to throw everything at you and see if they tickle your fancy.

Hello again fellow Zirilan enthusiast. Just gonna spitball some ideas because we have so much overlap;

Arena of Glory new toy

Madblind Mountain weird card from an overlooked uncommon cycle. Great synergy with Sensei's Divining Top or Scroll Rack

Fault Line instant speed Earthquake.

Fury of the Horde sneaky tech. Has won me so many games.

Defense Grid or Price of Glory you aren't bothering your opponents, they shouldn't bother you!

Hi theLegendred. I've played Avacyn for some time. Opponents I faced would keep counterspells and/or removal in reserve specifically for Avacyn's appearance (yup, she's considered that much of a threat). I found the following cards to deal with this:

  • Aegis of the Gods/Metropolis Reformer: hexproof for yourself, which prevents opponents from targeting you with abilities/spells, amongst which are spells that force you to sacrifice your own creatures (which is one of the ways in which your opponents can still get rid of Avacyn, eventhough she's indestructible).
  • Chimil, the Inner Sun: bit of an expensive piece of kit, but it's been pulling its weight regardless. Avacyn doesn't need to worry about counterspells no more and the value brought forth by the discovery ability is absolutely awesome in a battlecruiser deck.
  • Defense Grid: makes countering spells a lot more expensive.
  • Eight-and-a-Half-Tails/Giver of Runes/Mother of Runes: helps in case you don't have stuff like Lightning Greaves/Swiftfoot Boots on the field yet to equip to your most valuable creatures.
  • Silence: cast this before casting Avacyn. Of course, this spell can still be countered, but that means one less counterspell held in reserve.

Wouldn't say it's necessary to include all of these, but including some will make a difference for sure. Good luck with the deck.
